LANCASTER, Pa. — Heavy downpours caused significant flooding across parts of South-Central Pennsylvania on Monday, particularly affecting Lancaster, Lebanon, and York counties. According to WGAL Chief Meteorologist Christine Ferreira, some areas received as much as six inches of rain in a short period.
